Wandering Mind

I found my mat this morning. It felt good to be moving but man, am I tight. The entire backside of my body was insanely tight. From the Achilles tendon through the calves, hams, gluts, lower, middle and upper back and the neck. Forward folds were almost funny they were so limited. And of course my hips have tightened back up, too. I’m not surprised or disappointed. I’ve been pretty hard on my body the last few weeks so I’m just happy that it is responding. It will be interesting to watch it open up over the next few weeks. I was gentle with myself today and hope to remain that way. So between reestablishing my asana and moving back to some clean, wholesome food I’m looking forward to watching my body and mind respond.

I went to the yoga studio at 6:30 this morning but the door was locked so I ended up at the dance studio at school. It was a little weird being in there, new space and all, but it’s a great floor and heated so… and I am hoping to make this my main practice spot unless I’m at the studio for a class. I also want to try to get some people in practicing with me so I guess I should start recruiting.

Faculty meeting this morning (joy) and then this afternoon I get to guest lecture and tell people what a Technical Director does. I’m not really sure how to explain that or at least have it take longer than 5 minutes to explain. (I’m supposed to fill a half hour)
